What is Project Crash?

In October 2016, we were asked by our police foundations professor what we could do to promote road safety in our community. We decided that a constant visual image, such as a road sign, would be an effective strategy to target drivers, reminding them to drive with care. We designed a road sign, and created several social media platforms under the name Project C.R.A.S.H., and acronym which stands for “cherish roads and safe highways”.

We are now a non-profit organization, with aims to save lives by promoting road safety, and enhancing the public’s awareness of the big 4 driving errors: distracted driving, aggressive driving, impaired driving and no seat belts.  We currently have our road sign posted at the Georgian College campus in Orillia, and three road signs to be posted at the Georgian College campus in Barrie.

There are thousands of preventable deaths due to vehicle collisions in Ontario every year. With your help and support, we hope to reduce that number to zero.
